The Daily Telegraph ranked Penny as the 55th most influential left winger in Britain, reporting that she is “without doubt the loudest and most controversial female voice on the radical left.”
Penny’s blog, “Penny Red”, was launched in 2007[9] and was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in 2010.[10] (The name Penny Red refers to a Victorian stamp.) She began her career as a staff writer at One in Four magazine and then worked as a reporter and sub-editor for the socialist newspaper Morning Star. She has written columns and features for several publications,[11] and is a columnist for the New Statesman[12] and regular contributor to The Guardian.[13] Penny is the author of Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism (Zero Books, 2011).[3] In it she mounts an attack on liberal feminism, which she characterises as embracing the consumer choice offered by capitalism as the path to female emancipation.[14]
In April 2011, Penny presented the Channel 4 Dispatches programme “Cashing In on Degrees”, and appeared on the same channel’s satirical current affairs programme 10 O’Clock Live.[15] and BBC Two’s Newsnight.

You seek to inform even when you,re doubting anyone is tuning in and listening.Well we are!!In fact your blog is always the first stop for me in cyberworld.It's always a good read.The problem is,none of your peeps are real chatty,so how could you possibly know if anyone is tuning in.But don't mistake our silence for apathy.I tend to mull things over for a good long while before responding.Case in point,I was just now going to respond to your last blog!I definately had a reaction to the possibility of you not being out there in cyberspace,as you regroup and fry those fish!Now I read that piece when it was first posted,and it's been on my mind ever since.So I decided that today was the day to respond and tell you....that, I for one would miss not reading your blog should you go on hiatus But I also get that a change is sometimes needed.It's good to shake the jar and see where it settles once in awhile so ya' don't feel stale!Just don't stay away too long,should you go,because I would miss you!!
